Save the Family Doctor (Twenty-two)
"Host, may I ask why Fan Dian's joy index soared in the face of danger?"
"I don't understand. It's probably what they say: love makes people blind." Jiang Yuanshi looked up at the sky helplessly, but he didn't stop working. "Speaking of the system, can you come up with a search function in your function card warehouse? My fingers are tired from flipping through them. The interface is dazzling, has no one complained about the art design?"
Z01 replied sincerely: "I'm sorry, host. I will give you feedback on your suggestions in a timely manner, or you can file a complaint yourself. Regarding complaints about the warehouse interface, the answer is no. The reason is that most hosts usually do not have enough willpower to redeem large-value function cards in the future. According to big data, the first three pages of ordinary or a few excellent cards have the highest browsing rate and usage rate."
Jiang Yuanshi flipped back to the first three pages, which were the categories of [Favorability], [Acceleration], [Slowdown], [Sleep], and [Limited Time Treatment].
Among them, the most familiar [Intact] limited-time version has the lowest usage rate, while the highest are [Favorability Improvement] [Favorability Filter]. Logically speaking, the best solution is to follow the plot of BL novels to gain NPC favorability.
Unfortunately, although Jiang Yuanshi is good at it, he doesn't like to cater to or please others. It is useless for a host like him who has no desire to survive. Moreover, even if he wants to date, in the world that Jiang Yuanshi has experienced, can he really date that person?
Usually you have to talk about it with your life.
But these are not the main points. The main point is that cards like [Intact] are divided into multiple durations and qualities, scattered on different pages, and you can only find them one by one.
Page 3, Page 15, Page 29...
Jiang Yuanshi was speechless: "Who taught you to classify like this?"
Z01: "Superior, superior's words: You will find it when you need it."
"It all depends on the players' consciousness, right? If it weren't for your Chuanshuju being the only one in the game, this UI would have been a failure long ago." Jiang Yuanshi refuted himself halfway through his speech, "But that's not necessarily true. No matter how bad it is, there will always be people who love it. Who told you to control everyone's lives?"
"......" Z01 turned on the voice search mode and roughly understood what the host meant. He regarded the entire Chuanshu Bureau as a production team, and divided it into various games.
Although Z01 knew that the host was an experienced gamer, he still reminded him, "Host, the mission is not a joke. Your soul will never die after failure, but will only cycle through suffering."
"Okay, I know. I'll exchange the card first." Jiang Yuanshi clicked on the page.

"Same price as digestive remedies?"
Well... speaking of digestive agents, we have to -
Jiang Yuanshi clapped his hands together, the sound interrupted his own memories and also woke up Fan Dian who was immersed in love history.
Fan Dian: “What’s wrong?!”
Jiang Yuanshi walked forward, holding a card in his hand: "Hello, please don't move, otherwise you may return to the wrong person."
Fan Dian regained his vigilance at this time. He covered Li Pu's face and asked, "What are you going to do?"
Jiang Yuanshi: "Use the points to treat your target. He will be fully recovered to his best condition within 30 minutes. Although there is no guarantee that he will wake up, you can run away with him now."
Fan Dian: "Why did you do this? You can abandon us. We are just virtual characters created by you."
Jiang Yuanshi lowered his eyes and tapped the function card for a long time to confirm the use. The function card kept showing that it was confirming the object, and it was obvious that he didn't want to give it to Li Pu.
"Because you are alive in my eyes, that's how I perceive you, so I want to save you. If this reason is too saintly, then there are two more utilitarian reasons. First, in order to complete the mission, you are the protagonists of this world, and your death will not benefit me;" He looked normal, and his hand began to repeatedly click between confirmation and cancellation, forcibly exiting and entering again, at an absurdly fast speed, not caring about whether you are stuck or not, "Second, I will feel guilty if I don't save you, not to mention that I have the ability to do so and will not be blackmailed. Saving you will make me feel at ease and will not fall into regret. In order to take care of my own feelings, I saved you. Is this reason okay?"
Just as the words fell, when the function card interface finally glowed red, a reminder sounded -
[Function card used successfully, subject: protagonist Shou Lipu]
Li Pu was surrounded by a halo. Jiang Yuanshi interrupted the stunned Fan Dian and said, "Please check his wound. If possible, we should escape. Or you can take him to another place. We can take different routes. I just used a deceleration card. It will expire in 10 minutes."
Jiang Yuanshi spoke calmly, and directly gave the choice to Fan Dian. Fan Dian quickly and carefully checked Li Pu, and confirmed that he was intact except for being unconscious. He decisively took out a bulletproof vest from under the bed and put it on Li Pu, and threw the other one to Jiang Yuanshi: "I'm going with you, there's nothing I can thank you for. You wear this thing, I can't use it, if there are any enemies, maybe I can hide from it."
Jiang Yuanshi did not refuse and put on the bulletproof vest inside his white coat. After putting on the white coat, he reached into his pocket and found a syringe and a scalpel, placed in his left and right pockets respectively. They seemed to belong to Jiang Shifang.
Jiang Yuanshi grabbed the door handle again, but still couldn't open it. He turned around, picked up a tattered wooden chair and smashed the window, but it didn't move.
Fan Dian, who was standing by, wrapped Li Pu with a blanket and secured it with pins. After making sure that it would not fall off and could completely cover Li Pu, he carried him on his back, took out a very long abdominal belt from his pocket, and tied Li Pu and himself together with one hand.
The whole technique was quick and familiar, as if it had been done many times.
After confirming everything was correct, Fan Dian said, "Let's go."
Jiang Yuanshi took a look and just shook his head: "It's not the plot yet, so I can't get out."
Fan Dian didn't say anything, just continued standing there.
Is it still not time yet? Jiang Yuanshi frowned and thought, and asked Z01 in his heart: "System, according to your calculations, do we have a chance of success?"
Z01: "I'm sorry, host. The answer is still 0."
Jiang Yuanshi: "Then is there any need to complete missions in this world? Is your boss crazy?"
Z01: "I'm sorry, host. I have no way of knowing what my superiors are thinking."
Jiang Yuanshi sighed: "I'm just complaining. Five minutes have passed. Has anyone responded to your appeal? If not, please continue to appeal."
Z01 replied: "Host, there has been no response to your previous 13 appeals. We will continue to file complaints for you."
Jiang Yuanshi: "Okay, thank you for your trouble."
Z01: “This is what I should do.”
When the situation became hopeless, Jiang Yuanshi was still in the mood to talk about other things: "It would be great if you could become a main god. If there is a main god who loves to work, there won't be so many bugs. At least they can be fixed faster."
Z01: "...Host, please stop making bold statements. The system cannot become the main god."
Jiang Yuanshi: "Oh, I forgot that your Lord God relies on hereditary succession, but isn't there also a system of those who become Lord Gods by living longer and working longer?"
Z01: "That would require billions of systems, but there are currently only two main gods with systems that have a shelf life of more than billions of years."
Jiang Yuanshi: "The shelf life is okay, forget it, system, come on. Anyway, you don't remember how long you have lived. Maybe you are a max-level boss entering the novice village. If you remember, remember to help me beat up your boss. There are bugs every day."
The host's words were extremely nonsensical and full of rebellion against the workplace. Z01 had now learned how to communicate, and in order to prevent things from getting more outrageous, he answered seriously: "Okay, host, if there's a chance."
After getting the answer from Z01 United Front, Jiang Yuanshi raised his eyebrows and said nothing. He held the door handle with one hand and tried to open it from time to time.
The air was very quiet. Jiang Yuanshi invited Fan Dian, who was standing still, to chat, "Do you have any suggestions for an escape route later?"
Fan Dian: "We ran towards the beach. That was the only time we escaped from the island."
Jiang Yuanshi asked: "What about rushing into the fog?"
Fan Dian was not surprised by this question: "We tried, but it didn't work. Once we entered the fog, we would lose our way and eventually lose consciousness again."
"Is there something in the fog?"
"Nothing."
The two chatted about this and that, talking about whatever came to mind. Jiang Yuanshi had a general understanding of their experiences. He held the door handle with his hand and pushed it back and forth without stopping. He looked out the window and saw the black fog getting closer and closer. Looking outside, Jiang Yuanshi always felt that something was missing. It took him a long time to remember something. "By the way, I want to ask what your bodyguards would do in this situation?"
Fan Dian: "They can't be taken away. When I open the door, they are never there, as if they disappeared."
Jiang Yuanshi: "Never appeared once?"
Fan Dian: "In my memory, yes."
Jiang Yuanshi glanced at Li Pu who was still sleeping. Li Pu was wrapped so tightly that only part of his face could be seen from under the blanket.
Jiang Yuanshi: "Did you bring him a weapon?"
Fan Dian: "I gave him a knife for self-defense. At times like this, we only have a gun to use."
Jiang Yuanshi nodded, and a clicking sound came from his ears, followed by the sound of the deceleration card failing.
Jiang Yuanshi's hands loosened and he quickly opened the door: "Let's go!"
The black fog that was originally crawling slowly outside the door now became like a wild beast that had broken free from its reins, and began to pounce on the woods. There was no one around. Fan Dian was running in front with Li Pu on his back to lead the way for Jiang Yuanshi, who was following at a fist's distance from them.
The escape began.
The thorn bushes scratched at their trouser legs and hooked at their flesh. The black fog spread behind them. They ran towards the beach as fast as they could. The branches scratched Jiang Yuan's skin, leaving blood marks.
Jiang Yuanshi half-closed his eyes, his chest beating violently, his breathing began to rapid, cold air filled his mouth, nose and throat, and breathing became painful, but he still did not stop.
I don’t know how long I ran before I saw a bright light.
The familiar beach and waves appeared in sight, with a small yacht parked by the beach, but when did it appear?
Was it there at the beginning?
Jiang Yuanshi was gasping for breath and his eardrums were ringing.
He was sure that this was also the plot.
In the original novel, Jiang Shi was shot and killed while they were escaping.
So soon, the hunter has cast the bait and the prey is about to be hooked.
Jiang Yuanshi turned around and looked.
"Bang----!"
